We were part of a small family gathering for a wedding up the slopes of Mt. Olympus. The villa was ideally located for the wedding and for various sight-seeing trips, particularly to the ancient Orthodox churches in the mountains. The villa is uniquely designed, spacious and very well appointed, sleeping six comfortably with good en-suite bathrooms. Not unsuprisingly, the temperature was ideal and we spent most of our waking time at the villa sitting at the large table on the veranda. It is a great place to socialize and entertain. The village of Anoyira is small and sociable with a friendly taverna if you want to walk to dinner. There is a good choice of restaurants within 20 mins drive. I would strongly recommend staying at the villa if you are part of a discerning group or if you want to entertain an even larger group.

Well... while picking the house to rent I hesitated a little, as this was the first time we tried with the family that type of arrangement. This house entirely met our expectations and we shall definitely keep on with this type of holidays.

We were traveling with a small kid (less than 1YO), so most important things were (1) enough shade for walking in a buggy, (2) quiet, (3) privacy. This house met all these requirements, here is what we liked most:1. High walled garden - wall probably 3M high gives a lot of privacy;2. Beautiful garden (shady grapes, palm and lemon trees, pomegranate and other) provides just perfect shade in a hot sunny afternoon;3. Garden is big enough to walk around with a kid in a buggy;4. The village is very peaceful and quiet (probably except for on Sundays morning, when there is a service in a local church starting around 7am);5. The house is very tastefully decorated inside and has an country-house amazing feeling;6. Bedsheets are top-notch, better than in many hotels;7. Friendly people in the village;8. Amazing folder, arranged by the house owners with information about the village, its history, museums, nearest shops, restaurants and places of interest;

Location: the village is located a little bit up the mountains, approximately 12 km from the nearest beach (no traffic at all on the roads, so getting to the beach and back every day was not a problem), so hiring a car for duration of your stay is recommended (we got a mini-van from Europcar, it was ok). There is one restaurant in the village (5M walk) with local cuisine and two shops where you could get groceries. For a larger choice of food you could go to the nearest village (6KM approx) or to a large supermarket in around 20KM.

Nearest beaches: there are two good beaches in approx 12 km from the house, each having nice restaurants, the beaches are not very crowded, sand and pebbles, sun beds and umbrellas available for a reasonable fee.

To sum-up: Would I recommend the house for a friend of mine? For sure. Would I like to come back for another vacation? Definitely yes.

“Could not find a more perfect place - rest and relaxation guaranteed”

Reviewed June 4, 2012
for a stay in May 2012

The house and garden are simply gorgeous. This house has everything you could need - and more - and you may never want to leave the garden. There are lots of lovely places to visit within reasonable driving distance and we did visit some of them but it was very easy to just while away the days in the garden enjoying the sun. Local shops have all of the basics if you want to stay in and eat but there are also many really good places to eat nearby.

If I were there with very young children I might be a little nervous about the stairs - they are completely open on one side to the dining hall below - but that is the only negative thing I can think of to say.

“Idyllic and quirky set in a traditional stone village in the Troodos foothills”

This villa would not suit everyone's taste but we loved it! A traditional stone house beautifully and artistically refurbished with all the charm (and quirks) of being part of a tradtional village. The setting was perfect. There were great walks nearby and the scenery was beautiful. It wasn't far to the beach, either. We had a great week and would recommend it.
